Makeup Tutorial: Everyday makeup for school
posted by
Personal


I am by no means a beauty blogger, but I love slapping on makeup so I figured that I’d share how I do my everyday look. This is my (almost) everyday makeup, which I feel is versatile enough for most occasions! I will list the products used at the end of the tutorial. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any!

(Also, I can’t believe I am putting up a makeup-less picture here. I’m not even going to bother whining about how horrible I look to fish for compliments… Just admire my dark circles and lack of eyebrows, everyone.)

I like to define my eyebags because I feel that it softens my look somehow…also, if you can’t hide them, might as well use them to your advantage :P

Eyes: Urban Decay Naked Palette in Sin (1 + 4), Half-Baked (5), Smog (2 + 3), and Dark Horse (6+7) ✕ Maybelline mascara ✕ Etude House eyebrow pencil ✕ Heavy Rotation eyeliner.
Face: Maybelline BB cream as base ✕ Chanel Perfection Lumiere foundation ✕ NARS Orgasm blush
Contour: Sleek Makeup contour kit in Light
Lips: Chanel Rouge Orage

I’m also wearing Acuvue Define Dailies in natural shine!

Outfit Post: Andro-uniform [Black Outfit Ideas]

Apparently I look convincing as a man so I’m really succeeding at this whole androgynous thing. A crisp white shirt is a staple in anyone’s wardrobe, I found this in the Uniqlo’s global flagship store in NYC as I was trying to look for something to buy from the +J collection. Unfortunately I did not bag anything from the +J collection but bought lots of heat tech stuff and a staple white shirt instead. Now add in some anti-wrinkle technology and it would be perfect.

Silver collar necklace is a cheap find from H&M. I love how affordable their accessories are.

I love my recent taobao/Peeka loot which included these garter stockings and the replica Alexander Wang Kristen satchel. It’s pretty decently made as opposed to the other stuff I saw on taobao which are all PU leather.

Barely survived the day with these Theyskens Theory replica. Dawn was on the receiving end of my grumpiness and I ended up buying a new pair of shoes which regrettably made my feet hurt too.

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Blazer:  Zara
  • White shirt: Uniqlo
  • Black leatherette skirt:  The Scarlet room
  • Stockings: taobao
  • Bag: Alexander Wang Kristen satchel replica from taobao
  • Shoes: Theyskens Theory replica from taobao
  • Neck collar: H&M

I wonder if anyone would be interested in a white shirt series. Anyone? Anyone?

Outfit Post: Brunch buddies [Black Outfit Ideas]

Featured, Outfits


It’s been a long while since I posted anything with my face on it. I blame SWTOR (in case any non-geeks wonder, it’s the new MMORPG called Star Wars: The Old Republic), I’ve been spending too much time on it and I never thought I’d be one of those addicted to an online game.

These pictures were taken a while back, where my boyfriend and I relished the concept of having brunch one fine day. I’m usually not a morning person but I entertained the idea anyway. The food was pretty okay and we had a seat in the “greenhouse” area.

A little greenery is a welcoming sight since we’re surrounded by concrete most of the time.

Le boyfriend was being preppy that day.

I was in a fairly androgynous getup if you discount the good cleavage day. Wearing flat shoes out is so liberating and comfortable.

These shoes are from a local label called Depression, extremely comfortable with removable straps so you can just slip them on on lazy days, otherwise the straps go around your ankles, I seriously think they should have a high heeled version of this.

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Camisole: Cotton On
  • Blazer: Topshop
  • Pants: H&M
  • Shoes: Depression
  • Envelope clutch: H&M
  • Collar: ASOS
  • Accessories: m)phosis, taobao

Travelogue [New York City]: Life in stillness
posted by
Featured, Personal, Style Inspiration


Harsh winter days are spent burrowing myself in the sheets with the laptop to keep the tummy warm. There was also a revelation that radiators are good surfaces for taking photos as illustrated by the Gareth Pugh x MAC post.

Besides makeup, I ended up taking photos of the shoes I brought along for the trip and some photos of bags, jackets and accessories.

Seems like the shoes were arranged in order of comfort. I kid, the dsquared reps are actually more comfortable than the Theyskens Theory reps.

My buttery soft lambskin bag is one of the lightest bags I own, it’s useful cause I tend to bring too much stuff out and despite that, it won’t give me much of a shoulder ache. I’ve had bags that are heavy on its own and I tend not to bring them out too often.

A clear favorite, my Datya leather jacket from All Saints. Kept me warm for a few winters now.

This H&M jacket is also one of my favorite to wear. It’s so smart-looking and I’m glad I got Dawn to buy it for me in London.

Pretty glad it was a productive day despite choosing to stay in.

Outfit Post: No light, no light [Black Outfit Ideas]
posted by
Outfits


The girls of Pixiekrane are over in London for a trip, and I took the opportunity to shamelessly invite myself to hang out with them one afternoon. If you are reading this: Thanks for putting up with me, and for the lovely pictures!

We met up in Holborn for lunch. I really like the area for some reason – you can easily head from there to soho for food, or to St. Paul’s for shopping. I much prefer this to the crush that is Oxford street 90% of the time.

The weather’s really starting to bite as we slowly edge out of autumn and into winter… Arissa gave me this cape when we met up in Paris, and I can’t stop wearing it! <3 It’s definitely not warm enough on its own, but it’s perfect when thrown over a leather jacket. Speaking of which, I’ve taken to abusing layering my clothes – I remember distinctly how my friend compared me to a cabbage when I was taking off my coat(s) indoors.

I like how unapologetically clunky these boots look. They are also really wide at the base, and remind me of hooves sometimes. Ultimate man-repeller boots.

Outfit breakdown:

  • Cape: m)phosis
  • Leather jacket (worn inside): All Saints
  • Cardigan (worn inside): All Saints
  • Skirt: m)phosis
  • Boots: Ann Demeulemeester
  • Accessories: Alexander McQueen

P.S. I will briefly be home in Singapore around mid December! I can’t wait to inhale all the food I’ve been craving since moving here. Chicken rice and nasi lemak! And 24hr McDelivery!
